The AC Malaga Palacio by Marriott hotel boastsone of the best views of Malaga and its port from its rooftop terrace with swimming pool. Ideally located between the cathedral and the Paseo del Parque promenade, it boasts a sober contemporary decor that will satisfy all visitors.
Flooded with light, the hotels of Malaga are lucky, because more than a seaside resort, Andalusia's second city after Seville is above all historical and cultural. Malaga has certainly not escaped the tourist development of the Costa del Sol, as evidenced by its large 1970s buildings, its landscaped beaches and its seaside resorts. But this Mediterranean port still stands out from the other resorts on the sunny coast for having preserved its old town and its monuments. Close to the Picasso Museum, the Roman Theatre, Gibralfaro Castle, the Alcazaba, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Cathedral, the city centre is an essential part of your Andalusian holiday. Here is our selection of the best hotels close to the historic centre for your trip to Malaga.
